[QUOTE="buddy, post: 468399, member: 12886"] Hi there. I am new, glad you are back. I go crazy with all those labels too. But I only tell people the umbrella ones. Now that you ahve the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)/Asperger's diagnosis it really can explain most of the other stuff. If people talk about symptoms, well yup, kids with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) seem very oppositional, have strange sounding thoughts, can be very adhd-like, can be SUPER obsessive, perseverative and compulsive...etc. I get that they have the checklist of symptoms to qualify for other diagnosis but in the end for me, I like to address the symptoms and the behaviors individually in our home plan and IEP, and have people keep the big picture in mind when it comes to the diagnosis/label. I wish there was an easy test to say what the bottom line is. wouldn't that be great? Poor little guy, you are right, he does't deserve it, no one does. Hope we hear more from you...(I hate those school calls, you will see it is my biggest ARRGGG right now) hugs, buddy [/QUOTE]
